This article on a prominent photography site. Offensive or funny?

"Why Your Wife Wants You to Get an Expensive New Camera"

Excerpt:

"[Women] have no clue to why we need exotic cameras when a compact would do... She doesn't know the difference between a 9/16" open-end wrench and your camera, but she does care deeply about getting great memories of her kids...I don't know anything about women, but from what little I do know, women LOVE kids and family. That, and shopping, are about it. This is the key to our camera kingdom...Don't ask her to buy a camera. She could (sic) care less about equipment. Women hate gear."

Do you worry a lot? If so - what do you worry about? If not - how do you succeed in making your brain shut up?

What is something you waste a lot of time on?

So I'm considering get a tattoo over spring break as a birthday/graduation gift to myself. I have two ideas that I'm pretty settled on. 

 Keep Calm
       &
Be the Change

or

Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the
quiet voice saying,
I will try again tomorrow.*

But I'm not sure which one to get or where to put it.  I was thinking of doing on my side just below my ribs.

Thoughts on either the tattoo ideas or the placement? Yay/Nay? Which do you think I should get first?

*Yes, I know its misquoted.

ETA: to add question, silly me.

[heartsandtarts]
I've read a million times that not getting enough sleep is unhealthy and will make you fat/depressed/stupid etc. Does this mean that you need to be getting a certain number of hours of sleep, or does it refer to simply being able to go to sleep when you're tired and stay asleep until you feel rested?


UNRELATED ETA! On Facebook, can someone make it where you can't see or find any part of their profile or even comments they leave on other pages unless you're they're friend? Or is it some type of block?

Is there a word you associate with both fire and water? 

What's your favourite energy-giving drink?

I don't know, but I'm trying to think of one so I can use for the title of my story.
My favourite is black coffee with sugar, closely followed by RockStar (esp. the kind
that's half juice, because it helps with the inevitable crash).

Flowers or Cookies?? [Mar. 12th, 2012|11:45 am]
The Question Club

thequestionclub
[jenna_pie]
A friend of mine was in a bad car accident. She is okay, but pretty shaken up and upset about her car being totaled. I wanted to send her a little something to cheer her up, but I can't decide on what.

Proflowers has a bouquet of flowers with a vase, and with shipping it would be about $40 to get it to her by tomorrow.

Harry and David as a cookie assortment which would get to her by Wednesday and is around the same price, $40.

Which should I send her? If neither, do you have any suggestions for a florist/bakery/gift basket site I can order from? $40-45 is pretty much my limit. She lives in Gainesville, FL if that makes a difference.

I am trying to decide where to go on vacation with my boyfriend at the end of next month. We're thinking of going to either Boston, MA or Washington, D.C. What would you choose and why??

In Boston we'd have a free place to stay on my friend's futon, and I'd get to see one of my best friends who moved away, but Washington, D.C. seems like it could be super cool and interestingggg what should we doooo?

Alternatively, where is the last place you went on vacation? How was it?

I need your guys' help finding the right hair product. This should not be difficult but it seriously is.

So, I have very long, wavy curly-ish, and extremely frizzy hair. I've been trying to grow it for years. When I style it, it looks lovely, but takes forever because of the length and sometimes I just cannot be fucked to deal with it. But on days when I don't style it, I look like a jungle woman and no hair products I'm trying are giving me everything I need. I want something that

1) Smoothes and eliminates frizz
2) Can be put on damp/towel dried hair
3) Won't make my hair stiff (most mousses and gel-like products do this and it drives me crazy)

So far everything I've seen that does this requires blow-drying to work, and I don't want that. At this point I don't care if I have to spend a bit of money. I just want something or else I'm going to have to chop my hair off so I can bear styling it everyday :/

CAN YOU PLEASE RECOMMEND SOMETHING?

What is one thing that annoys you that you kind of feel guilty about?

My siblings are on spring break so they're up to all sorts of nonsense, but I have to be up for work at 530 and I sleep on the couch in the living room so they need to STFU like, now. I feel kind of bad because they shouldn't have to be quiet at 1100 when no one has to be anywhere tomorrow, but they do because I'm on the couch and I gotta get me at least six hours or I will kill.
